Title: Improvements in or relating to electromechanical constant speed driving systems
IPC: H02P29/00
Filed: 1960-03-04
Abstract: 885,934. Driving generators; transmitting mechanical power. AUXILEC AUXILIAIRES ELECTRO-MECANIQUES DE PRECISION. March 4, 1960 [March 6, 1959], No. 7798/60. Classes 35 and 38 (4). In an alternator drive from a variable-speed engine through a slipping eddy-current clutch, the speed range that may be accommodated is extended by the use of a change-speed epicyclic gear D 1 , the change being effected in dependence on the engine speed. The drive E from the engine passes to a planet carrier S 1 , the alternator A being coupled to sun-wheel P1,1, and the eddy-current member IT of the clutch FM being connected to the other sun-wheel P1,2. The pole-wheel IR of the clutch is driven from the planet carrier or locked against rotation, through a mechanism TM, which comprises a free wheel RL, a second differential gear P2,1, S2, P2,2, and a brake FB which may lock the carrier of planets S 2  or allow it free rotation at engine speeds determined by a tachometer T. At low speeds the brake is in use and the pole member of the clutch is driven in reverse direction, the free wheel being overrun, so that the gear D 1  serves to subtract speed from the drive. At higher speeds, the free wheel operates to lock the rotor IR so that the clutch operates as a variable brake. Alternator voltage control.-As shown in Fig. 2, the alternator voltage control circuit RT includes a current compounding transformer T 1  which feeds a control winding CR 1  on a magnetic amplifier A 1  through which current from the alternator output lines is fed, through rectifier Rd 2 , to the field winding 3. A reaction winding R 1  is included on the amplifier. The operation of the amplifier is modified by a constant current passing through a polarizing winding P, and regulation is effected through a control winding C which also serves to stabilize against unbalance shown at SU. Alternator frequency control.-The control of the excitation current of the clutch FM is compounded for alternator current through current transformer T 2  through a magnetic amplifier A 2  is similar manner. The amplifier also carries stabilizing windings E 1 , Eg connected to frequency filter circuits. The tachometer consists of a permanent magnet A.C. generator T feeding, through a filter F, a tachiometric relay rt which in turn controls the brake FB. Various tachiometric control circuits are described (Figs. 3 and 4, not shown).

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of shortenings and food compositions produced therewith
IPC: A23D9/013
Filed: 1943-05-19
Abstract: Soaps are prepared by saponifying untreated, elaidinated or hydrogenated jojoba nut oil.  The saponification of the untreated oil may be hastened by emulsifying the oil, before saponification, with some saponified substance, for example the soaps of jojoba nut oil fatty acids obtained in a previous saponification.  Alternatively, the saponification of the untreated or hydrogenated oil may be facilitated by adding to the oil, before saponification, a little of the elaidinated oil.  If desired, a mixture of the untreated oil and the elaidinated oil may be hydrogenated and then saponified.  In the case of the elaidinated oil, the saponified fatty acids, obtained as a result of the saponification, may be hydrogenated.  In an example, the untreated, elaidinated or hydrogenated jojoba nut oil is treated with an aqueous saponifying agent comprising sodium hydroxide, tetrasodium pyrophosphate and calcium carbonate.  The alcohols obtained are distilled off while the residue of soaps may be converted to the fatty acids, preferably by acidifying with mineral acid, and the fatty acids may then be re-saponified to give metal soaps.  Hydrogenated jojoba nut oil may be prepared by mixing jojoba nut oil with activated nickel, kieselguhr and carbon and then hydrogenating.ALSO:Alcohols are prepared by saponifying untreated, elaidinated or hydrogenated jojoba nut oil.

Abstract: 400,240. Coffee-making apparatus. WILLSON, E. A., 35, Cedar Road, Croydon, and TENNISON, A. J., 80, Littleheath Road, Selsdon, both in Surrey. March 21, 1932, No. 8294. [Class 129.] In electrical apparatus for making tea or coffee at a predetermined time, means are incorporated for ensuring the correct sequence of the operations in all circumstances. Water is heated in the vessel 2 by an electric resistance. Leads 3 connect the heating device to a socket 4 and switch 5. A spout 2a projects over the receiving vessel 6 standing on a platform 7 which is retained in contact with the flange 1b of the panel 1a by a shoulder 15a of a spring 15. In this position, the hook 14c of the bell-crank lever 14 engages a stop 1e to prevent downward movement of the support 8, platform 7, and vessel 6, the time-piece lever 13a being in the position shown in Fig. 1. At a predetermined time, the lever 13a rises and strikes the member 14a of the lever 14 and moves the member 14c of the lever to a position where it can freely pass the stop 1e. As the vessel 6 is empty, the platform 7 will be retained in its upper position by the spring 15. The upward movement of the lever 13a operates the switch 5 and closes the heating circuit so that boiling liquid from the vessel 2 will eventually pass into the vessel 6. When the quantity of boiling water in 6 is sufficient to overcome the springs 15, 10, the platform 7 will drop. The arm 8a will then strike the lever 13a to reset it, and will cause the switch 5 to interrupt the heating circuit. Removal of the vessel 6 will allow the springs to reset the platform 7. Specification 323,530, [Class 129, Tea &c.], is referred to.
